DHAKA, Feb 25, 2022 (BSS)- It was a magnificent display by Bangladesh

Muktijoddha Sangsad Krira Chakra as they came from behind tasted their first
victory in the TVS Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) football beating new
comers Swadhinata Krira Sangha by 2-1 goals held today (Friday) Sheikh Fazlul
Haque Mani Stadium in Gopalganj.

   With the day's win, Muktijoddha Sangsad opened their account with three
points from five matches while Swadhinata Krira Sangha remained at their
previous credit of four points playing the same number of matches.

   After the barren first half, Bosnia and Herzegovina's forward Nedo
Turkovic finally broke the deadlock scoring the first goal for Swadhinata in
the 54th minute.

   Muktijoddha however staged a fight back in the match by virtue of suicidal
goal as Swadhinata's defender Murad Hasan scored an own goal to level the
margin in the 80th minute.

   Japanese striker Tetsuaki Misawa, the captain of the team, sealed the
victory scoring the second goal for Muktis in the 83rd minute of the match.

   Swadhinata Krira Sangha however tried heart and soul to stage a fight back
but they failed to convert any in the remaining proceeding.   

   The freedom fighters Muktijoddha dominated the proceeding, especially in
the second half, and notched their deserving victory on the day while
Swadhinata Krira Sangha also fought neck to neck with Muktis, but they failed
to keep the tempo in the second half. As a result they had to leave the field
with empty hand despite taking the lead.
